Of course, I'm a married man so all of my lusting only happens in my heart these days but I still do that without shame.
Really? You just sit in the living room looking at your porn with your wife there? Maybe that's why she's telling you about the body image angle, but you're not getting the hint.
Quote:You can convince men to hypocritically pretend they don't like sex that much or don't want to look at images of sexy ladies. You might even convince them to hate themselves for their hidden true nature. I don't think that's terribly healthy nor is it productive to achieving equality for women.
I'd rather convince them that they're not mindless animals and with practice can rise above their baser nature.
Quote:You do realize that sexuality is not a choice, right?
I'm quite capable of choosing not to view pictures of young, slender, scantily clad women. I know that my wife, like many women, suffers from body image issues, so I do what I can to build her up, including not leering at young slender women. It pays off in that it does help her with her self image and I get better sex because of it.
Quote:Of course, I'm talking to someone who's part of a religion that hates sex and promotes sexual self-loathing and hypocrisy, so I don't expect you to agree.
Er, no, those in a marriage (an arrangement you apparently endorse) are told to have sex regularly.
Quote:You can call me "sexist" if you like and I'll fire back that you're an uptight puritanical hypocrite.
I'm a married man with three daughters. If you want to spin my stance against objectification of women as uptight and puritanical, so be it.
